A big pattern that i'm seeing in this too, is transactional being about those throwaway assignments. And changing that into the transformationl where you talked about giving some more agency and having it be toward some broader goal. I've been having fun using flip grid, which is just one of the many tools that people can use to record video. It's a little empty shell for things that don't fit neatly into the topics that i thought of in the first place. So i can't wait to try that in future classes, cause i guess itis not going to show up on my existing ones.
